The studio

Independent, sterile and unhurried.

Hustle Ink is a small independent tattoo and piercing studio on Balls Pond Road, on the Dalston side of De Beauvoir, a short walk from Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction.

We keep it straightforward: take the time to draw something you will still love in ten years, work clean, and make the whole thing relaxed rather than rushed.

  • Single-use needles and a fresh, sterile setup for every client
  • Custom designs drawn with you, plus walk-in flash
  • Over-18s only; bring photo ID for tattoos and piercings

Good to know

Before you come in

How do I book?
The easiest way is to message the studio on Instagram (@hustle_ink_london) with your idea, rough size, placement and any reference images. We will reply with a quote, an artist and available dates. You can also call the studio on 020 3952 3879 during opening hours.
Do you take walk-ins?
Yes, walk-ins are welcome for smaller pieces when an artist is free. Because it depends on the day, it is always worth messaging first to check availability before you travel over.
Is there a deposit?
Booked appointments are secured with a deposit, which comes off the final price of your tattoo. We will confirm the exact amount when you enquire, along with the quote for your piece.
How much will my tattoo cost?
Price depends on the size, placement, detail and how long the work takes. Send us your idea with a reference and we will give you a clear quote before anything is booked.
Is there an age limit?
Yes. This is an over-18s studio for both tattoos and piercings, and we ask everyone to bring valid photo ID. We cannot tattoo or pierce anyone under 18, even with parental consent.
Where are you and how do I get there?
We are at 38 Balls Pond Road, London N1 4AU, on the Dalston side of De Beauvoir. Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction Overground stations are both a short walk away, and several bus routes run along Balls Pond Road and Kingsland Road.
